"Beca, how does one find such a hole in the wall in NYC?"

Bree questioned in the between bites.

After spending an hour and a half to get out of the airport due to Beca's fans, they were famished. Beca much to Chloe's surprise decided to share her favorite restaurant with them. So she found herself sitting in the back corner right below Beca's picture as they all munched away in the secluded booth. Chloe couldn't help but watch the Burnett chew the last of her bite before going to answer.

"You get hungry at three in the morning and wonder down to one of the only diners open and away from the public eye." She said impersonally, she hadn't changed a bit. All of her walls were still up.

Moving her berries around her waffle she snuck another glance at Beca next to her. Her and Aubrey had moved on to discussing catering for her and Jesse's wedding while Jesse pretended to be involved. Beca's eyes held Aubrey's as she twirled her fork around the plate. The nervous habit she had since college brought a smile to Chloe's face. Beca's right foot tapped repeatedly beneath causing their section of the booth to vibrate. Her leg moving up and then down just to repeat again. Without having a chance to notice what she was doing she moved herself closer to Beca's as her hand reached out for the syrup across the table as the scent of Beca's shampoo clouded her senses. The warmth of her shoulder against her own kept her stuck in place against Beca's side.

Pouring her syrup, she looked up at the engaged couple and much to her delight neither of them had seemed to have noticed the exchange. Aubrey's hands were frantically moving about the air as she spit out a million words about how perfect the food must be as Jesse tried to calm her down. Chuckling slightly at the two it was immediately cut short by the feeling of something softly tracing across her leg. The action sending shivers through her body as Beca laid her hand across her thigh, the warmth passing from her palm through her jeans. God, she is going to be the death of me. Looking at her, Beca was facing straight ahead acting as if she was truly interested in what Aubrey was going off about, a slight grin playing at her lips.

How was she to focus on her eating when Beca was playing hardball? And damn was she good at it. Pushing the berries aside once more she took a bite and glanced up mid chew to see everyone's eyes on her. Rushing to choke the bite down Beca laughed out beside her.

"Caught in your own world over there, Chloe?" Aubrey said breaking the awkward silence.

"Um, yeah sorry. Just tired."

"Jesse asked you how puppy training was going." Beca laughed out.

"Oh uh wonderful. She's with Jacob right now, but we've almost gotten her house broke."

"So a puppy, huh?" Beca muttered a slightly hurt look flashed across her face and was gone just as fast as it appeared.

"Oh, she's the most adorable thing!" Aubrey squealed out, her hands waving in the air in excitement. "You have to see the way her ears perk right up, but flop to the sides if she tilts her head."

"Awe, she sounds cute. What kind of dog is she?" Beca asked turning to stare right into Chloe's eyes sending her heart racing.

"Uh, German Shepherd."

"With the most beautiful brown eyes. I told Jesse we're getting one once we move into a house."

"And I told her no way. A bulldog puppy and that's that."

"But we know how this is going to end." Aubrey stated as they all laughed at the embarrassed smile that spread across Jesse's face.

The talk went on about different options of dogs that Jesse and Aubrey thought were cute. And how Aubrey wanted a dog, but their apartment wouldn't allow it. She never understood their choices to live in NYC.

"I've actually always wanted a dog." Beca stated, the statement causing shock to grow amongst the people around the table. "I just never would have the time and it'd be unfair for it to be alone most of its life. Their kind of likes kids, ya know? And I've always wanted them too. Two kids and a dog just running around..." she trailed off.

After speaking she looked up to catching everyone staring at her wide eyed. The personal statement caught everyone off guard because Beca never talked about if she ever wanted a family of her own, let alone anything too personal. Chloe couldn't stop herself from reaching out for Beca's hand and squeezing it. She knew she needed it.

"Uh hmm." Jesse cleared his throat to break the silence. "I think you'd be a great mom." Beca smirked at his comment. Chloe knew how much that statement meant to her.

"Chlo, do you want kids?" Beca randomly blurted out, breaking their silent study date.

"Um," she said pulling herself up from the laying position she had been in to face her best friend. "Yeah I do."

"Do you think you'd be a good mom?" She took in Beca's face as her eyebrows crinkled in worry.

"I'd like to think so."

"I think you'd be a great Mom. You're meant to be one, some people just are." Beca said catching her off guard.

"Do you want kids?" Chloe's words drew her eyes in, she could see the sadness within them.

"I wouldn't be good for them." She muttered replacing the headphones over her ears meaning the conversation was over.

Chloe hadn't thought about that memory in years, but she remembered sitting there questioning her best friend's statement. She remembered watching her and contemplating pushing her to talk more about the subject, but she never did. And how the fact that Beca thought she wouldn't be a good mom dawned on her in the middle of her Psych 101 class the following day.

"You really would be a great parent." She spoke as the words she had been wanting to say since that night caused Beca to pull her hand a little closer so that Chloe was forced to scut closer to Beca.

"Do you two want kids?" Beca asked the couple changing the subject away from herself.

Leaning into Beca's side, she couldn't help but lay her head down upon her shoulder. She didn't think Beca would be a great Mom, she knew it. Allowing the days exhaustion to take hold she felt herself doze off as the group discussed Aubrey and Jesse's future children. She hoped they'd all be moms on day.
